DALLAS STARS
NHL VALUATIONS $1.08B FORBES $1.11B SPORTICO $1.25B ROUSTAN OWNERSHIP TOM Gaglardi SINCE 2011, CANADIAN businessman Tom Gaglardi has been the steady ownership hand at the top of the Stars organization. The Gaglardi family made their money in hotels and restaurants after Gaglardi’s father founded the Sandman hotel chain and later the Moxie’s restaurant chain. Gaglardi has continued to expand his footprint with investments in and around the team’s facilities in Dallas, such as a hotel near the practice rink and a restaurant downtown near the arena. Gaglardi is a no-drama owner who is based in Vancouver and isn’t a fixture at every game. He’s mostly hands-off on the ice, allowing hockey ops to build a contender. The most pressing concern for Dallas, and many other NHL teams right now, is the tumult surrounding the future of regional…
Annie Camins
AGE: 50 PWHL VP, HOCKEY OPERATIONS THE HOCKEY NEWS: When you first had conversations about coming aboard with the PWHL, what were those discussions about? ANNIE CAMINS: It was, “We need someone in your position, a leader, that can move quickly and build programs.” Both my previous NHL jobs, it was from the ground up. There was no fan development department or I was the first or second one in it, and I was trying to build it. I think (PWHL senior vice-president, hockey operations Jayna Hefford) saw that as a big quality that I have. My motto is, “Just figure it out.” And whatever it is that we’re doing, we’re going to get there together. I’m very much a team player, so I think that she saw that in me and saw the…
Brendon Arnold
W. GRAEME ROUSTAN: I want to go back to 2020, there was a rebrand that took place in 2020, which really got a lot of attention from not only your competitors but from the users of your product. Talk to me about 2020. BRENDON ARNOLD: For us, 2020 was the first time we were able to take Sherwood back into the market. As you know, we picked up the brand in 2018. It was old, dusty, irrelevant. But even though it was out of date, and the consumer may not have known what Sherwood hockey is, we were able to find a pulse on that brand. And because the brand has such a rich heritage and is one of the most iconic hockey brands in the world, we knew that if…
Chris Johnston
AGE: 42 / TOP 100: 95 TSN AND THE ATHLETIC INSIDER THE HOCKEY NEWS: Growing up in Cobourg, about an hour outside of Toronto, did you get into the city a lot as a kid? CHRIS JOHNSTON: Not too much. It’s kind of the stereotype of Canada that I don’t think exists anymore, but most kids my age, all we did was play street hockey or organized hockey or rollerblade hockey. I grew up with Justin Williams. We were born two weeks apart. He was the one kid that would score seven goals in a 7-1 win for his team and quickly grew out of our town and all the way to the NHL. When I was a kid, the city felt far away. It felt like something to strive for rather than…
